lyrics

Song: The Mound
Album: Opus Tierra
Artist: Nixa

—————————————————

A giant mound arise at center of our world
We all worship, the great house upon the hill
Drinking the blackest mud, to purge the evil out

We all worship, the great house upon the hill

Taken to the altar
Reaching for the other side
Buried in the black mound

Placed upon the altar
Bleeding for immortal life
Buried in the black mound
Rise before your god

As all rivers reverse, once bringers of life
Now fill up with mud and blood, this sacrifice
Famine and rebellion, the hands that holds the knife
Now digging through the dirt, in search of breath & light

Living in darkness in darkness, bring me your light
No one can save me, no one but me

As our world corrodes, empires demise
No words in 600 years - then all screams at once
Did all that we were told, and all it brought was drought
Hands digging through the dirt, in search of breath & light

What a beautiful, haunting experience all around, always melts me from start to finish. Incredible and deep sound, amazing atmosphere and cohesion, unexpected jazz elements unlike anything I've heard, and don't get me started on the vocals. Really hard to choose a favorite track. dan-rod
